TEACHING THE YOUNG.
The Practical Bearing of the Hygiensc
Temperance Instruction in the Public
Schools,

The Practical Bearing OF the HYGIENE
Temperance Instruction In the Public
Schools.
1t has probably occurred to many
teachers, as an intuition of genius, or
a tradition from the ancients, that ''as
the twig is bent the trees inclined.
This lifts the teachers calling into
profession, and gives dignity and joy to
the labor-the consciousness that the
faithful teacher is forming the convic--
tons, molding the character, shaping
great measure the future of the pupil
The moral of which homily is to appeal
to all the teachers in our common
schools where instruction in the effects
of stimulants is given, to be honest and
faithful in the instruction. The law
passed is wise and Christian. "Physi-
ology and hygiene, which in both divi
sions of the subject shall include
special instruction as to the effects of
alcoholic drinks, stimulants and mar
cotics on the human system, shall be
taught as regular branch of
study to all pupils in all schools
supported wholly or in part by publis
money" except art or special schools.
Now does not this mean that "instruc-
ton as to the effects of alcohol shall
be lifted to the dignity of a regular
branch?" Many parents and pastors
and friends of the young do most
earnestly hope that no tie acher, by
pushing the study into a corner, will
practically instruct the pupils that the
effect of alcohol and narcotics is of
small Importance. That's not carrying
out the spirit of the law.
The new branch comes into our cur
riculm representing the most passion
ate interests, earnest endeavor and
most noble prayer of a host of noble.
men and women. Their motive in
pushing its introduction is the Hottest
philanthropy. A thoughtful teacher
might feel a baptism of the most disin-
terested desire to do good as he re-
ceived the opportunity to shield the
them on the side of Temperance, as a
high and sacred trust.
The new study represents the con-
viction that there is special need be-
cause special danger to the young. Our
high-wrought, exhausting life brings
special danger to the young. Our
high-wrought, exhausting life brings
special temptation to stimulants. The
familiarity with the drinking habits of
the age, the leading of people into
places away from home, make it a
crime not to give our school-children
ample instruction and warning.
What is true education, if not Il.
preparation for life? The hygienic
temperance instruction has surely Il.
practical bearing on health, habits,
morals and future OF the young. A sa-
cred trust is given to the teachers. May
they be earnest and faithful.-ReU. j..

NOT SURPRISING.
The Neat Way In Which a Lawyer Sue
ceeded in Discrediting Witness.


Recently Judge L, of W,
Ind, was engaged in a case in court
where the will of one W was being
contested, upon the ground that the
maker of the will was of unsound mind
when he caused the instrument to be
executed, Judge L being for the de-
Tense, and Judge C for the plaintiff.
One Mr. T was put on the wit
ness stand to prove that Mr.. W was
not in his right mind when or before
the will was made, and Judge C
questioned him.
Judge G.-'What is your name?"
William r"
Judge G.-"You reside in W,
Ind?"
Answer-'1 do sir
Judge WHATS your business or
occupations"
Answer-"A Spectator, and prac-
tice law little"

VOUDOO WORSHIP.


| Revolving SuperstitionS Prevailing Among
the Negroes of Hayti.
Sir Spencer st. john gives very
spirited description of Voudoo worship
in Hayti. According to the true
secretaries of the voudoos," he says,
''who maintain its principles and obey
its rules, 'voudoo' signifies an all-power-
full and supernatural being, on whom
depends all the events which take place
in the world. This being is the non
venomous serpent-one so common in
Hayti-and it is under its auspices that
all those assemble who profess this
doctrine, Acquaintance with the past
knowledge of the present, prescience Of
the future, all appertain to this serpent,
that only consents, however, to ean-
municate his power and prescribe his
will through the organ of grand
priest, whom the secretaries elect, and
still more by that of the negress, whom
the love of the latter had raised to the
rank of high priestess. These two dele
gates, who declare themselves inspired
by their god, or in whom the gift OF in
spiration is really manifested in the
opinion of their followers, bear the
pompous names of King and Queen
or the despotic ones of Master or
Mistress or the touching titles of
Papa and Mamma They are during
their whole lives the chiefs of the great
family of the voudoos, and they have
a right to the unlimited respect of those
who compose it. 1t is they who decide
if the serpent agrees to admit candi-
date into the society, who prescribe the
obligations and the duties he is to full
fill; it is they who receive the gifts and
presents which the god expects as a just
homage to him.
ITO disobey them, to resist them, is
to disobey God himself and to expose
ones self to the greatest misfortunes.
This system of domination on the
one hand and of blind obedience on the
other being well established, they at
fixed dates meet together, and the king
and queen of the voudoos preside, follow
ing the forms which were probably
brought from Africa and to which
Creole customs have added many varia-
tons and some traits which betray
European ideas, as, for instance, the
scarf or rich belt which the queen wears
at these assemblies, and which she occa-
sionally varies.
As for the practice of voudoo worship,
it is well to say that of the votaries in
Hayti there seems to be two classes
those who worship the serpent and offer
animal sacrifices to appease his wrath
or court his favor, and those who kill
human beings and not only offer them
as sacrifices, but eat their flesh. The
temples of the voudoo are generally
small, unpretentions wooden buildings
called by the natives Humforto-and
are scattered generally throughout the
interior of Hayti. Some of them are
most incongruous in their interior
decorations, and one situated little
distance back of Heaux du Cap, was
profusely decorated with illustrations
from colored weekly pamphlets, inter-
spersed with gaudy chronicle pictures of
various saints.-N Y World.
